Hibernate Validator 5 requires the Unified Expression Language (EL) in
version 2.2 or later. Therefore, a dependency to javax.el-api:3.0.0 was
added. (Without that, the compilation of some integration-tests fails!)

* Access public method of package-visible TypeSafeActivator class without reflection.
* Fix arguments to call of TypeSafeActivator.applyRelationalConstraints().
* Use hibernate version 4.3.1.Final for all components.
* Minor refactorings in exception handling.

Fixed failure when target/classes does not exist when runnin mvn test phase

Details from the original email:
---------
The following patch stops builds failing when target/classes (or no main java exists), and target/test-classes and src/tests exist.

So for example calling

mvn test -> invokes compiler:compile and if you have export bound to process-classes phase in executions it will fail. Maybe better to give info and carry on. Say for example they want to leave the executions in place that deal with process-classes and also process-test-classes but they do not want it to fail if there is no java to annotate in src/classes. The other way would be to comment out the executions bound to process-classes. What about export being bound to process-class by default? Could this also cause issues?

In either case I think the plugin code did checks for src/classes directory existing, in which case even call "mvn test" would fail as src/classes would not exist as no java existed in src/main only in src/test. Have a look through the patch and see if its of any use.
